mayweather retired in 2002

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Of course he did.

Afterall he chose the coward's way. Rather than fight the best he opted to preserve his own record of being undefeated. Which we all know is as padded as they come.

During the past five years, please name the fighters that Hatton, Margarito and Cotto have fought who are better than Judah and Delahoya.

It is strange how Mayweather gets criticized for fighting Zab Judah... then Cotto gets prasised for fighting Zab after ZJ was coming off 14 months of inactivity.

The constant Mayweather hate threads, full of the same diatribe is getting pathetic, you bitches need a life! Mayweather is undefeated and recognized as pound for pound, to call someone who chose to make a living by fighting in a ring in front of millions of people, a coward means nothing at all and says more about you than Mayweather.

Behind every successful person lies a pack of haters.

[BigDog9]

whoa

he called out Hatton long time agoand he took Oscar at 154 instead of Margarito at 147. and even the haters in this thread stop making post that Floyd was ducking Margarito into Floyded is going to get KOed by Oscar.

Well he comes in the ring beat the people and making them look bad. So people think he is not taking the chances.

he risked his power and even part of his speed going up and if you compare guy who where with him at Lightweight they where still fighting at lighweight intell the boy forced them to move up.

he took oscar when he was out of his prime, and also for the damn money he even said it himself that he was a good payday to take, dats y he dnt wanna fight mosley cuz he the onli one wit his speed eve if that

You're a coward and a nіgger.
All you can do is eat yams and use the internet.

wtf, is this post about?

Mayweather Jr can be a ****y and who knows (i don't know him personaly) a bad or good person, but to bash the man's sports life is going too far.
The problem with the undefeated fighters lay in Margarito as a perfect example. Noone undefeated will fight him because he is high risk and NOT WORTHWHILE. This is unfair but it's boxing. Why? Just because he has a few early losses AND he is a good enough fighter to threaten any undefeated today. Floyd may or may not be ducking Margarito but i asure you, if Margarito were a crowd draw like Oscar or Shane and he if he was undefeated, the fight would already have happened.
Even so, of all undefeated fighters (who have to somewhat protect that because well, they look at Margarito, Trinidad wont make as much money anymore too ) he is the one WHO TOOK THE MOST RISK. Fighters who are nice guys and good fighters like Oscar can afford a few losses to quality opponents and still get 30 million in a good fight because they are marketable. PBF is not as marketable but still he took more risks than all of the undefeated fighters today.

You'd change this if you had a different structure to boxing. Either closed prizefighting competitions WITH EXCLUSIVE CONTACTS, like K1*, UFC, Pride FC for kickboxing and mma or one champion per division (neither will happen because you fools still pay to see all four major belts fights) Unification matches are RARE and it didn't solve the problem. Nowaday takes like 5 years for a unification match. K1 has a new champion every year (and he fights like 4 times during the year or more in the case of the Thai fighters).

I'd like to see some of the people calling him a coward step in the ring with him for a few minutes. I think we'd find out who's a coward and who's not.

[EliteSoldier]

I'm not afraid of glass hands mayweather, I'd step in the ring with him. But then again, I'm like 40-50 more pounds then him. And I bet you I can move faster then him and hit alot harder then his glass hands can. Then again I train every single day at my gym in boxing and cardio. Not afraid of him at all. I'm afraid of the heavy weights though, since their hands are made of steel and hit hard as ****.
